You would think so but from prior experience, couriers like Evi/hermes and Parcelforce and the like wriggle out of their commitments with all sorts of clauses and it gets ugly and difficult and they often dont reply for weeks at a time. They also don’t pay back their £90 or so shipping/insurance fees.
Also thats kinda not the point. There is a stolen bass out there. It will resurface, of course, basses like this eventually always do, and as I’m refunding the buyer, and no certainty on any kind of recompense, I would very much like it back.
